Mystery Quilt

On our annual quilting retreat last week, I decided to make the table topper mystery quilt. I should know better. I really like to put a project on my design wall as it progress, sometimes making changes to the fabric I’ve chosen.

At the retreat, I used a focus fabric that was directional – mistake. When I started to put the project together it was a mess. So I stopped what I was doing, came home and re-cut using a new focus fabric. Everything is strip pieced so it goes together quite easily.

I liked the result so much that I ended up making two! I think that the second table topper will be one of my pieces in the craft boutique at our guild’s quilt show next year.

About Me

I began to quilt about 13 years ago with a very basic quilting course taught at a local quilt shop, Patchwork Plus. Before that, I had talked about quilting, read about it, studied techniques and even bought some tools, but I was hesitant to get started.
